In this post, I will share an experience when some of my friends and I were relaxing on Kuala Raja Beach. This was not a vacation, but rather a short trip to find the peace and tranquility that nature has to offer.
A few days ago, I received an invitation from some friends to spend time together and reconnect with old friends. Of course, this was quite exciting because it was all about togetherness and warmth. However, most of my friends did not want to visit a tourist attraction; instead, they preferred a peaceful and quiet place away from any noise.
Coincidentally there is one of my friends whose house is right on the beach which is quite close to the Kuala Raja tourist destination, of course it is a suitable place for us to sit and relax while enjoying everything that nature has to offer.
A little information: Kuala Raja Beach is located in Kuala Raja Village, Kuala District, Bireuen Regency, Aceh Province.
This area is also quite well known in Bireuen, as it is home to several popular beach destinations, including Kuala Raja Beach and Ujong Blang Beach.
There are also several huts provided so we can sit and relax, the surrounding atmosphere also feels very calm and peaceful because it is far from the noise of vehicles, all that can be heard is the sound of the waves and the cool sea breeze.
In my opinion, the distance between my friend's house and the beach is only about 100 meters, which is quite close. From the hut, I could also enjoy a beautiful view of the vast blue sea,from time to time, I could hear the sound of fishing boats passing by in the distance.
What made the atmosphere even more peaceful was the abundance of shady trees along the beach, giving us a natural shade. I don't know the name of the tree on the beach, but it certainly grows large and has numerous branches.
This is a very exciting moment because here we can meet old friends again, everyone is busy with their own activities and busyness, so this is a moment that is very difficult to realize.
It would not feel complete to visit the beach without playing in the water or going for a swim. At that time, I also took some time to walk down to the beach,my purpose was not to swim, but simply to enjoy the coastal scenery from a closer distance.
Along this beach, large rocks have been installed to act as wave breakers, so I can also sit on the rocks while enjoying the view in front of me.
The weather at that time was very bright, the view could be seen clearly without being covered by the slightest fog. At that time I also thought about waiting for the sunset moment, but it was very unfortunate that in the afternoon the weather which was initially bright turned cloudy.
One of the things that makes me really like this beach is the condition of the sea water which is very clear, the conditions along the beach also look quite clean and I very rarely find plastic waste scattered there, this indicates that this beach is very well maintained.
